I have an application written in VueJS where I send a file, that the user uploads, to the backend. To do this I'm using Axios and I'm sending the file as a FormData. The problem is that I don't know how to access the fields in FormData when I'm in the backend.
I've sent a file using axios like this:
onUpload(): void {
if(this.fileChosen){
const fd = new FormData();
fd.append('file', this.selectedFile, this.selectedFile.name);
axios.post('http://localhost:8080/routes', fd, {
onUploadProgress: uploadEvent => {
console.log('Upload Progress' + Math.round(uploadEvent.loaded / uploadEvent.total) * 100 + " %");
}
})
.then(
res => {
console.log(res);
});
} else {
this.fileMsg = "You haven't chosen a file";
}
}
}
Then in my backend I want to access this file that I sent:
app.post('/routes', function(req, res){
res.set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
// Here I want to access my file! But how?
});

I had problems with using axios for file uploading so you can use the module superagent (https://github.com/visionmedia/superagent) that supports file uploading with formData. Then, in the backend, you need to use multer (https://github.com/expressjs/multer), to get the file.
In the frontend file
//Method to do the request
superagent
.post(/register")
.attach("avatar", uploadedImage)
uploadedImage has the image content that you get in the VueJS component
In the backend file
var multer = require('multer')
var upload = multer({ dest: 'uploads/' })
import fs from 'fs-extra'
router.post('/register', upload.single('avatar'), (req, res, next) => {
return fs.readFile(req.file.path)
.then(content => {
// The content of the file
})
}
With this code, everytime you upload a file to /register with the file content in the formdata, your image will be stored in /uploads folder on your backend. Please note that the image key must be the same in the frontend and backend, in this case, avatar.
